Now Welshman Ben, whose work on YouTube has helped him become a close pal with Jake, revealed a ballpark figure on what they earned in response that could make your eyes water.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, Ben said: ‘A lot of celebrities do bankroll their weddings, regardless if they do the heart and soul etc.

‘I think this was a fantastic step forward. Just put your wedding live. But of course, YouTube don’t advance you to go live and build a show, they just give you the option of people being able to donate, and so fans can donate.’

‘From the looks of it, the company that supported Jake was Halogen,’ he added. ‘The day before the wedding they did the Challenger, Olympic style sports thing Logan [Paul, Jake’s brother] did, and that same company sponsored the wedding.

‘I can only imagine to buy Jake’s wedding on live would come with a pretty sick pay packet in advance! Pretty sick pay packet!’

‘I think at first it was like “we should just touch base with each other” and then it was like “oh s***, we really get on with each other…wait, this is going somewhere”

‘Then the thought pattern was, why wait for two years to say will you marry me? We’re flying now, let’s just do it!’

‘I don’t think I would do it!,’ he added. ‘I kind of like, for me, have found the one, but I didn’t marry her within the week! We’ve got to live together, travel together, and shout at each other, love each other, and then I’ll figure it all out. But who knows?

‘When you’ve had too many relationships like Jake has, past relationships he’s had that he’s learned from his mistakes, and knows the right path for him now.’

This would certainly explain why Tana said in her MTV show Tana Turns 21 that she’s in it for the ‘fun and content’, only to clarify herself by the time it made it to air that she did actually love Jake.

She wrote online after the clip aired: ‘Confessionals for the show [were shot] A LONG TIME AGO! The “for fun and content” sound bite was from a very long sentence lmao and was a little salty to see it pulled out of context.’

‘I know that things have moved so fast, are unconventional, and confusing but I love Jake. I truly do, in the weirdest fucking way. Every second of this rollercoaster ride has been so fun & crazy,’ Tana continued.

‘I hate that it’ll probably always come with owing people some explanation especially with so many things coming out like the show (which is quite behind)… but I know that’s kinda the life we signed up for. idk. I’ll f*** off.’
